Description: RARE!!!! Alexander Joy Cartwright Jr. signed Hall of Fame plaque. The father of modern baseball. Again, this is a rare plaque because of the signature that come with it. It is believed that Cartwright and his friends formed their baseball club in the early 1840s and named it after Manhattan’s volunteer Knickerbocker Engine Company. In 1845, Cartwright’s Knickerbockers moved across the Hudson River via ferry to play on the spacious Elysian Fields in Hoboken, N.J. It was there that the club became a driving force in baseball’s rapid development. Cartwright served as the Knicks’ secretary in 1846 and then as their vice president from 1847-48. He was also a member of the club’s rules committee in 1848. Cartwright was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1938.
